Mourinho Bemoans Lack of Midfield Options

Manchester United are short on "solutions" in midfield for their away Champions League match against CSKA Moscow, says manager Jose Mourinho.

"I won't have Fellaini, I won't have Pogba, we won't have Carrick, so all three are midfield players that we lose for this match. So there are not many solutions, but we try not to focus on individual matters or specific areas on the pitch. We are going to have a team with quality and balance and try to win the match – that is our objective, " said the Portuguese manager.

Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic are United's other first-team central midfielders, while the versatile Daley Blind and youngster Scott McTominay could also be options.
Mourinho has also confirmed that defender Phil Jones will miss the game in Moscow.
